Variants

 

On this page you will find two variants of Wadi. Try them and play Wadi as you like it best.

 

 

Without building rule B*:

Be aware: This variant only applies to players who are in possession of the original game rules (2007). If you have downloaded the new game rules of Wadi (available since October 2009), just play the advanced rules with the Spreading rule.

 

Building rule B is there to make sure that a game of Wadi does not 'get stuck'. I also like the twist it can bring to the end (on which you can anticipate). For those who do not like this rule: Wadi can be played without using building rule B.

 

However, I recommend to do this only when playing with experienced players because towards the end of the game, some of the players might end up not being able to pump water from the wadi. This risk is even bigger, when combined with the pro variant.

 

 

Pro variant:

Changed rule: it is allowed to build 2 shadoofs in 1 turn (after these two actions the turn is over, of course).

 

This rule works best if it is being used by people who already know the game.

Be aware: This variant is even more strategic in combination with Wadi - The Watchmen.
